    Pescado Relleno
    Lee S.

    My rating is more like 3.5. The seafood was very tasty. I think the sauce could have been served hotter, but was also tasty. The one thing that I didn't like was the tip situation. They add the tip to the bill, which I often don't mind because it's less than what I usually give. But what I thought was not cool... after the card is swiped, and given the receipt to sign, it shows "total" then "tip" is left blank (but you already tipped). So if you're not paying attention you will tip again. So just review the bill before paying.

    Mixed seafood civiche, the best!!!!!
    Sellina Y.

    This review is long over-due. I've been a loyal customer since I first moved to NJ and it has been over three years now. I have only ordered their mixed seafood civiche and their baked ring cookies. After having many civiche dishes from other restaurants, Fruit Punch Cafe is in first place. Ingredients in my favorite civiche: fresh fish, octopus, squids, shrimps, red onion, corn (with huge kernels), I piece of 2x2 sweet potatoe, I piece of 2x2 yuca, and maybe lemon or lime juice makes this perfect civiche mix. I always order with a mild degree of spice, but it always ends up spicy... Just the way I like it. I've ordered no spice before, but that just means there is less juice...not the same bc I have my civiche with rice n that calls for some sauce. I'll be returning again very soon :) for pick up, like always.

    Located in Bergerline ave, only 20 mnts from 8th ave and 42ndst in New York Port Authority Bus terminal, just take a Shuttle and it will drop you of in West New York New Jersey right across the Hudson River. I been coming here for years with my family and friends all the way from Queens,New York. It's a Family Oriented restaurant, with great choices of food at a very reasonable prices, Its Peruvian Cuisine at it's best. I order the Shrimp Soup, a mixture of Vegetables,eggs,rice, dice potsto and Shrimp with a special blend of sauce. I top it of with some Peruvian Spice, delicious and healthy, they do have many other choices of dishes which is very typical of Peruvian culture, come out here and try it out. Also order the Chibcha drink a purple color delicious Peruvian drink all at a good price just within the budget. The place is very nice,clean and cute decor, it's Family Oriented and friendly, the waitresses friendly, bilingual and excellent service. Drop by check it out Peruvian food at it's best don't let the Café part fool you it's a restaurant.

    Looks good, but tasteless

    In the enormous amount of restaurants on Bergenline Ave. in West New York, I still am hoping to find a decent place with good food. Unfortunately I was disappointed again. This seems to be a Peruvian restaurant with many flashing lights adorning the windows. Several tables, which were all empty. That should have been my clue, but no, I sat down to eat. I ordered Peruvian style baked chicken with rice and salad which includes a bowl of soup. The chicken soup was flavorless. Rice and bones and some carrots with no seasoning. The baked chicken and white rice with salad was dreadful. Rubber chicken leg that you can't cut with a knife. Hard old rice and a small salad. I couldn't put it down. Left the soup and half of the rice with the unedible rubber chicken. What a disappointment. The only thing I enjoyed was the green sauce, this is the reason I gave them one star.

    It was delicious

    I was first introduced to this place when the owner allowed the youth committee to eat on the house for a special event. Ever since then, I've fell in love with Peruvian food! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu; it's surely cooked from the heart. The owner is so sweet! Seafood, meats, sauces...yum I can go for some right now. Here's a picture of my take-out of chaufa. The large can feed up to for people and it costs less than $20. Tell me that's not a steal!

    Delicious Food. Lomo Saltado and ChiCha Morada. Halal Meat. No pig meat. Great Red and Green sauces for your pica needs. So many things to try!

    Ordered 5 jaleas, found a hair in one. Most of it was just fried pieces of nothing! all different in size. Some had yuca others didn't. BAD!

Once we entered, we were seated at our table; there is a good amount of seating inside. I ordered from the lunch menu, which consists of an appetizer, main and dessert. I started off with the empanada de queso which was very cheesy and tasty. For my main, I got the half rotisserie chicken which comes with two sides, I got the rice and salad. The chicken was solid and the green sauce and hot sauce mixed together made for a nice dip for the chicken. Also got a pitcher of this purple drink, forgot what it was called but it was good. For dessert I got the tres leches cake, which was the right amount after the big meal. The portion size is very big and for the price ($14.75), you cannot beat that. They give you so much and def worth the trip. If you're in the mood for Peruvian food, I highly recommend place. * Street parking * Good service

The establishment is clean and well kept up, the service was excellent, my server was so lovely and kind. The food came out so unbelievably fresh too! I ordered Lomo Saltado and it came out piping hot and flavorful! The chaufa was so well made, fresh, very well seasoned too. Their food portion sizes are great for the value, and well presented. They also serve house made bread, and provide roasted corn with green sauce and salsa (both of which were delicious). From the ambiance, to the service, and the food, 5 stars all the way around. I had a great night, I will be a regular customer, and so should you. Thankyou for having me!

    Finally I could come to try this restaurant and I was gladly surprised, the hype is not fake…read more From the beginning, the attention from the personnel was super polite and respectful. I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

We ordered 2 dishes, the Lomo Saltado and 1/2 Pollo - both ended up lasting 3-4 meals which is great value! The Lomo Saltado was tender, juicy, and the sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and had a lot of depth. I wish there was more meat compared to everything else. loved that the sauce soaked up into the rice adding even more flavor to the bite. The French fries got soggy so I would suggest eating this first or be prepared to re-heat them if you can. The 1/2 Pollo was also tender, well-seasoned, and flavorful. It was absolutely delicious with the green sauce which cannot be skipped in every single bite. The Chaufa is a Peruvian-style Chinese fried rice mixed with eggs, chives, soy sauce; it compliments the chicken so well and can literally be eaten by itself too. The tostones were good but I wish maduros was an option as a side. I don't know why you can't substitute for that. All in all, good value, good flavors, and very filling!

I ordered this order as a takeout order. Service was okay, I asked to eat inside the restaurant and sit down and the lady at the counter said no because they would need to charge me to sit indoors which I had already paid $20 for the rice meal. The business was empty with only two tables being used so I thought it was not great customer service to not let me sit down and eat my food if the restaurant wasn't busy. Idk why the extra charge was needed, I am a paying customer so I left. I recommend the food but mixed opinions on the customer service experience I had here. The ambiance is family oriented in a Spanish neighborhood.
